There is no standard approach for addressing energy within the current Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Cluster System Framework. To date, the main method for coordinating around energy within the humanitarian response has been through the establishment of Energy and Environment Technical Working Groups (EETWG), which share information, organize trainings, and develop common monitoring and evaluation frameworks. Such groups have been reported in Bangladesh, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Jordan, Kenya, Lebanon, Nigeria, South Sudan, Uganda, and Yemen.[1]
Relevant resources on existing Energy and Environment Working Groups in humanitarian settings are as follows:
- Uganda EETWG
- Ethiopia EETWG
- Venezuela EETWG
- Cox’s Bazar (Bangladesh) Energy and Environment Network
- Cox’s Bazar (Bangladesh) EETWG Strategy for Climate Action (2023-2025)
As the global coordinating body for energy access (SDG 7) in humanitarian and displacement settings, the Global Platform for Action (GPA) on Sustainable Energy in Displacement Settings advises and facilitates partnerships between humanitarian and development stakeholders incorporating energy into the emergency response. The GPA has also developed a Sample Terms of Reference for Energy & Environment Technical Working Group Formation. For further support or questions, please contact energy@unitar.org.
